Common Struggle

The Right To Know Committee (RTKC) came together in response to the toxic workplace and neighborhood conditions brought on by two factories in Southwest Philly. In June of 1994, a Defense Personnel Supply Center (DPSC) and an oil refinery complex (run by Sunoco Oil) were put under scrutiny by the federal government following the findings of massive pollutant outputs deep under the surface of the surrounding neighborhoods. These two factories have been sitting along the Schuykill river for decades, putting out countless tons of chemical waste into the river, soil, and air.

The Vermont Workers' Center (VWC) opened the doors to its first office space in the spring of 1998. The mission of the center reads: "We seek an economically just and democratic Vermont in which all residents have living wages, decent health care, childcare, housing and transportation. We work to build a democratic, diverse movement of working Vermonters that is locally focused and coordinated on a statewide basis. We work with organized labor in moving towards economic justice and in strengthening the right to organize. We are committed to taking action on the full range of issues that concern working people, and to building alliances nationally and internationally." The VWC seeks to build an effective and meaningful labor movement within the particularities of Vermont.

The housing crisis is very real and overwhelmingly for tenants throughout Boston. What is the solution?

Common Struggle - Libertarian Communist Federation is still a small anarchist federation and, in our mind, there is still a lot of work to do in order to see the emergence of the type of revolutionary organization we advocate in our region. Our federation is composed of activists coming from different movements of resistance who identify with the communist tradition within anarchism. Our activities are organized around theoretical development, anarchist propaganda, and intervention in the struggle of our class, be it autonomously or by direct involvement in social movements.
